'POLICE TEAM KILLED MAYOR IN SELF DEFENSE'

Albuera, Leyte Mayor Rolando Espinosa Sr. was a bad person and was capable of killing, a police officer said Saturday as he asked the public to believe their version in the killing of the local chief executive inside a detention facility.

He said they ordered the other inmates to drop to the ground as the shootout ensued.

Laraga said the slain mayor used a .38 Super revolver, which could have been mistaken by their informant as a .45 pistol. He added that the revolver is "expensive" and a "collector's item."

Crime scene investigators said they recovered the revolver and a plastic sachet of suspected shabu inside Espinosa's jail cell. A .45 pistol and five sachets of suspected shabu, meanwhile, were seized from the jail cell of Yap.

Laraga said Espinosa could have resorted to shooting at his team due to fear of being killed inside the jail.

INSIGHTS...

"We, therefore, profess, gentlemen, once again unity and solidarity among us. The good and welfare of our country is our motive. Let us prove to the whole world that when a Filipino wills something he can always do it." (Rizal's Speech Delivered at Café Habanero, 31 December 1891)

"Men are born equal, naked and without chains. They were not created by God to be enslaved, neither were they endowed with intelligence in order to be misled, nor adorned with reason to be fooled by others. It is not pride to refuse to worship a fellow man, to enlighten the mind, and to reason out everything. The arrogant one is he who wants to be worshipped, who misleads others, and who wants his will to prevail over reason and justice." (Message to the Women of Malolos - Europe, February 1889)

“Within a few centuries, when humanity has become redeemed and enlightened, when there are no races, when all peoples are free, when there are neither tyrants nor slaves, colonies nor mother countries, when justice rules and man is a citizen of the world, the pursuit of science alone will remain, the word patriotism will be equivalent to fanaticism, and he who prides himself on patriotic ideas will doubtless be isolated as a dangerous disease, as a menace to the social order.” (El Filibusterismo, Chapter 7)

"Uprisings and revolutions have always occurred in countries tyrannized over, in countries where human hearts have been forced to remain silent." ~ (The Philippines a Century Hence)

“We want the happiness of the Philippines, but we want to obtain it through noble and just means. If I have to commit villainy to make her happy, I would refuse to do so, because I am sure that what is built on sand sooner or later would tumble down.” (Letter to Blumentritt, 31 January 1887)
